Spider-Man has finally been detailed with an official name, release window, and new gameplay, all in a new trailer that debuted during Sony’s E3 2017 press conference.

Spider-Man looks to be as fast-paced as ever, with zip mechanics and free-following web swinging that offers a fluid and liberating method of getting around. Combat implements this fluid movement seamlessly, as the hero jumps around the environment, dispatching enemies either stealthily or in open confrontation.

The more story-driven action seems largely scripted, with quick-time events dictating most of the cinematic moments. As long as the open-world retains its freedom, the contrast has the potential to make up a true Spider-Man experience.

Spider-Man is confirmed to be launching sometime in 2018, exclusively on PlayStation 4.

About Nick Plessas

Nick didn’t start gaming until mid-2006. Once his parents finally allowed a console into the house, it was all uphill from there. Starting out with a PS2, he grew an affinity for Sony consoles and moved on to the PS3, and now the PS4. He keeps his gaming palette wide, but, gun to his head, he’d have to say shooters are his genre of choice. Find him on Twitter @idole808
